Merry Christmas!

 Twas the night before Christmas and no one slept good..  Ridge woke up about 10:30pm all sweaty and said he had something to tell me then fell asleep before he said anymore, Bailey woke up about three times, Ridge woke up again at 3am saw that Santa had come and was all excited but we told him to go back to sleep, Lillian woke up about 3:30am and Ridge was still awake and said "Lillian Santa came, its Christmas!" I yelled no, don't tell her that, its still night time!! Bailey woke up again at 6am, then we all finally got up about 7ish..
We had a great morning, kids are so fun and make all things in life better.  Ridge was so excited, and helpful, and thankful, and Lillian hugged every gift she got and rubbed her head on it like a little puppy.  And Bailey just watched with her big eyes and tried to grab things.
We finished up, went to church, then had a nice relaxing afternoon.

Ridge still did not catch Santa in his trap but he did catch his hat which had gotten stuck.


 For a while all Ridge had on his list was Chickens, so Santa gave him a little Rooster and chicks.

Lillian got a fun drum

Ridge got a big surprise at the end, his very own BB gun was hidden behind the TV.



First matching dresses


That night we cleaned up everything and enjoyed watching the tree get torched.

Christmas EVE!


We had Daniel's parents and Grandma over for Christmas Eve.  We did a christmas puzzle, ate stake and baked potatoes, had goodies, and exchanged gifts.

Ridge made a trap last year to try and catch santa but was unsuccessful so he had Grandpa help him make a better one this year in hopes for more success.

After they left we heard some bells outside and found a few gifts scattered on our back patio, Santa must have dropped a few as he flew by.  Ridge was crazy excited about the blaster gun!








Annual bake day with the Burtons

Tawnya and kids came over for a night, we hung out, made christmas goodies, and watched Christmas movies.  I sure enjoy our tradition!

Cute Sunday Kids

Didn't know I'd love little Christmas dresses so much. 

Wolf Christmas Party

This year we got together at Tawnya's house for a little Christmas party with her family and my mom.  We just went down for the day so it was jam packed.  Everyone played, we had a little Christmas, Daniel and I watched Ian's basketball game, we ate a delicious dinner, then headed home.  It was a whirl wind but a great time..
Since we were opening gifts in the afternoon we made the kids pretend to go to bed, then took pictures on the stairs, then let them come down and open gifts.  Kids make everything more fun. 






Bailey loved the wrapping paper and got a little fussy each time we took it away.

 Lillian was so cute, she loved every gift and would bring it to her Uncle Bill to show him. 

 Bill and I were the lucky ones and got awesome paintings done by my mom.

Ridge gave his cousins matching hats

Ian is the best baby loving cousin


Last picture with Granda Sue for a year and a half when she returns home from her mission.

Picture with Santa

I love this picture; Ridge is being obedient and smiling for the camera, Lillian is thinking about what she wants for christmas, and Bailey is sneaking a candy cane..

Ridge's school Christmas program

Ridge has been practicing the songs and new all the words, his favorite of the night was "All I want for Christmas are my two front teeth."


Lillian was proud of her big brother

Ridge and his good friend Jorja
